Fresh Raspberry Goat Cheese Fertility Salad

Written By Crystal Leochko

Warm summer days are perfect for enjoying fresh, fertility-boosting salads and this one tops the list for Fertility Nutritionist Crystal

Research shows adding healthy fats and iron-rich vegetables can help add fertility-boosting nutrients to your body. This raspberry goat cheese salad tastes like summer, and it makes a quick lunch or dinner side dish on busy days.

This salad may seem simple, but it’s full of beneficial ingredients:

  • Healthy fats, like those found in avocados, have been shown to reduce inflammation, which can improve ovulation in women.

  • Raspberries are one of the most filling fruits due to their high fibre content, and they are rich in antioxidants.

  • Dark leafy greens, such as spinach, are high in iron, which helps reduce the risk of anemia, a condition that can hinder fertility.

  • Goat cheese is a source of protein, calcium and healthy fats.

Fertility Tips:

  • Use only organic or non-GMO brands of all your ingredients, especially if the vegetable is on the dirty dozen list.  We don't want to add any unwanted pesticides to your body. 

  • Choose whole-milk dairy or coconut, almond, or cashew milk products that are free from extra hormones or antibiotics.

  • Support your local farmer’s market - fresh, seasonal produce is more nutrient-rich than produce that was picked and shipped from far away.
